GPS mounts can be a great way to secure a GPS navigation system to a dashboard. However, it's important to understand some of the risks of using GPS mounts.

In many cases, a GPS mount will leave a small ring on a windshield when it is removed. This small ring will indicate to criminals that there may be a GPS unit in a vehicle. In some cases, leaving this ring on a windshield can increase the risk of vehicle theft or break-in.

To avoid these problems, it's a good idea to wipe a windshield after removing the GPS mount. In addition, it's essential to make sure that the power cord for a GPS system is hidden out of sight.
